Bio:
Rocky Raccoon was formed in Aalborg, Denmark in late 2006 by Theis Othmar and Martin Lyhne. Lasse Wehner joined shortly before Christmas that year and Gitte Rønde was added to the line-up in early 2007. Drummer Mads Holst was replaced by Jesper Tranholm Madsen during spring 2009.
With back to back semi finals in the Danish music competition Band Battle in 2008 and 2009 as well as being chosen among a vast number of competitors to participate in the Bridgewater Live Contest in 2008, the band slowly started putting itself on the map with its funky retro grooves. Furthermore, in late 2008, 272 Records (California, US) included the track Grandpa, Dance on one of their compilations.
In April 2009, Rocky Raccoon teamed up with Stillwalker Productions, who have had several of their productions getting airplay on Danish national radio channel P3 including the smash hit Dirty Place by Maria Timm. Two tracks were recorded in legendary Danish studio Feedback produced by Rasmus Bredvig and mixed by Kristian Vad. The tracks will debut here on MySpace in late May 2009.
